You felt drops of water hit your cheeks as you slowly regained your consciousness. Was it raining? Were you still in the forest? No, he wouldn't just leave me there to escape. What if I'm in some baseme-

What? What is that feeling?

Yoru cradled you in his arms and whispered sweet nothings while trying his best to stop crying. The overwhelming feeling of losing you left his body as he reassured himself that you were with him..for now. Confused, you gathered all your strength and will power to open your eyes. With great difficulty, you eventually did, but what met your eye sight made you want to close them again.

Your eyes met with his ocean blue eyes which glistened because of his tears. You were baffled at his state. He looked absolutely horrible. His eyes were puffy and he looked exhausted. In short, he looked like he hasn't slept in days. "Oh, princess. You're awake!"

Yoru tightened his hold on you, but not enough to cause pain. You let out a sound of discomfort as you felt his skin against yours. You felt so uncomfortable. Yoru's face morphed into sadness as he noticed your discomfort. He carefully let go of you and fixed your pillow to make sure you were comfortable.

Awkward silence filled the air. You would do anything to get out of this situation. Yoru cleared his throat then opened his mouth. "Princess, no, (y/n). I would like to apologize for all my actions. I really didn't know where I went wrong! I love you so much and I . I abandoned my life and even . You are..so to me and I wouldn't . I promise to treat you right and respect your opinions and we can live with each other and create a family. It can be . I-I know that I made a lot of mistakes and I want to atone for that. So, I thought that I'd give you the chance to leave or...."

"Wh-what...do you mean..?" You bit your lip in anxiety.

"I'll leave the door open for you and I'll let you escape." Your breath hitched.

"." Yoru went out of the room and left you to your thoughts. When the door closed, you didn't even budge. You were speechless. A voice in your head told you that he was manipulating you and trying to trick you with sweet words. You knew that if you stayed with him that the relationship would be the death of you. Trying your best not to breakdown because of the overwhelming situation, you stared outside the large window and watched the rain go down the trees.

'Should I..stay? Or leave?'
